This story takes place in a very different Equestria. It is more or less in a more fantasy setting and has characters from stories I've read. This is told from the points of view of the various main characters. So with that in mind, here's my little flavor text.

It's been 1000 years since Celestia and her Paragons banished Nightmare Moon. Although most of the Equestria population rejoiced at the end to the Midnight Wars, the land soon began to loose its luster. Year after year ponies get sadder, crops begin to die and the beasts of the wild places in the world begin to rise. It seems the country is on a crash course with doom, then the Elements of Harmony are stolen. Everything except for the central valley begins to fail. Bandits and monsters roam and ponies struggle to survive. Only one thing can save the land... and that is a lonely librarian in Ponyville.
